Filter by:RATIONALE: A Web site for stem cell transplant health information and support may be effective in helping parents improve their health-related knowledge, skills, and quality of life, which may also improve their children's quality of life. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying a Web-based stem cell transplant support system to see how well it works compared with standard care in families of young patients undergoing a stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of twice daily (bid) oral midostaurin in patients with Aggressive Systemic Mastocytosis (ASM) or Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL) with or without an Associated Hematological clonal Non-Mast cell lineage Disease (AHNMD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects of sirolimus (rapamycin) given in combination with chemotherapy (Mitoxantrone + Etoposide + Cytarabine (MEC)) on high risk myeloid leukemias.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if clofarabine given in combination with cytarabine and decitabine can help to control the disease in patients with AML or MDS who are 60 years old or older. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ascending single oral doses of bosutinib administered with multiple doses of ketoconazole and to provide the pharmacokinetic profile of bosutinib when administered with multiple doses of ketoconazole and with food in healthy adult subjects.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving clofarabine together with temsirolimus may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving clofarabine together with temsirolimus works in treating older patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is safe and effective as a maintenance therapy at improving further the quality of the response you achieved with your last therapy and at prolonging the duration of your response. This study will compare the effects (good and bad) of lenalidomide with the dummy drug.
1. At the same time of registration, patients will be randomized to one of the two conditioning therapy groups; Arm I (intravenous busulfan plus cyclophosphamide; BuCy) or Arm II (intravenous busulfan plus fludarabine; BuFlu). 2. Randomization will be a stratified permuted-block design. 2.1The patients will be stratified into standard risk vs. high risk group, and related vs. unrelated donor. Standard risk group will be defined as follows: patients with acute leukemia in first remission, CML in chronic phase, and MDS (RA or RARS categories). High risk group will be defined as follows: patients with acute leukemia in relapse or in second or subsequent remission, CML in accelerated or blastic phase, and MDS (CMMoL or RAEB categories). 2.2.Pre-assigned block size is 8.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a particular combination of drugs used to treat cancer.
Alemtuzumab is an anti CD52 monoclonal antibody. The CD52 antigen is present at the surface of B,T NK lymphocytes. It is expressed at various levels at the surface of ALL blast cells. Adult patients with ALL in relapse have less than 10% probability of long term survival. The present study will test the response rate (partial and complete remission) of refractory ALL or ALL in relapse. It is hoped that if a CR can be achieved, further consideration will be given for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The use of G-CSF is justified by a possible increase in ADCC.
